Objectives:
With the given Material for the upcoming activities, the learners are
should be able to:
1. Determine the parts of a microscope and its functions
2. Learn to use the compound microscope.
3. Discover new things by using a microscope
4. See the importance of microscopy to the laboratory experiments
and explorations
Elicit (5 mins)
Provide a picture of a compound microscope, and present it to the
class.
After showing the picture, they would be asked to share their idea
about on what they know to the image shared by the teacher.

Explain briefly that compound microscope is an

upright microscope that uses two sets of lenses (a compound lens
system) to obtain higher magnification than a stereo microscope.
A compound microscope provides a two-dimensional image, while a
stereo microscope provides a three-dimensional image. And
Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects
and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects
that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye)

Engage (10 mins)

By the Image distributed to each student in the class,
The following questions are to be asked:
1. Do parts of microscope important in doing its function?
2. What are the expected things that you can see using compound
microscope?
3. Does compound microscope is helpful upon discovering
microorganisms?

Explore (10 mins)

A class would be divided into group of 5, the teacher would provide a
compound microscope together with a hand out given to the group
leader consisting the parts and functions of as microscope to each
group. In the group there would be a Leader to take responsibility on
leading his members, and a secretary to take down notes on the shared
ideas by the remaining members.
During the activity, they would answer some questions to manipulate
well their ideas and answers. While the activity is ongoing teacher
should observe the performance of the groups.

ACTIVITY:
1. Every member of the group should touch, look and observe
carefully the provided microscope to them.

2. The group leader would try to explain to his/her group mates the
given hand out.

3. Each member including the leader should share to the group what
are the expected things you can see using compound microscope
and does compound microscope is helpful upon discovering
microorganisms?

Explain (10 mins)

After the activity, a chosen reporter will present their answers to the
class about their response about parts and functions of a compound
microscope which are on the provided hand out.

Elaborate (20 mins)

To help students further analyse and understand the topic about
microscopy, It should be done by the educator to give further lecture
and discussion to the students

In the discussion the teacher provides images of each part of a

microscope, and explain each one to the class about its function.
To further explain and see if the students had learned something, the
teacher should open a forum to the class about what is their questions
or clarifications about the things unclear to them, and answer the
 7 E’s Format Lesson Plan for Science

certain questions of the students.

Evaluate (5 mins)
Manipulate a short quiz which talks about parts and functions of
microscope.
MULTIPLE CHOICE: Select the best answer on the choices given after
each number.
1. A square platform where the slide to be examined is placed?
a. Tube
b. Arms
c. Stage
d. Base
2. Short curved structure used in holding the instrument.
a. Tube
b. Arms
c. Stage
d. Base
3. It produces greater movement.
a. Coarse adjustment knob
b. Fine adjustment knob
c. Nosepiece
d. Specimen/slide
4. Structure at the lower end of the body tube which can be rotated
and bears the objective.
a. Nosepiece
b. Specimen/slide
c. Stage
d. Base
5. It is mounted in the draw tube where one peeps into when viewing
the microscope.
a. Head
b. Nosepiece
c. Eyepiece
d. base

Extend

Individually, the students are tasked to do a drawing activity.

They will draw the compound microscope and label each parts.
After the drawing they will put the functions of each parts of the
microscope.

The activity is graded accordingly to this criteria:

Completeness: 10 points
Neatness: 5 points
Creativity: 5 points

With a total of 20 points

This activity will be passed on the agreed time.
